So I selling all my pumpkins albums on eBay about 5 weeks ago, and this person bids right at the last second, right when I’m discussing plans with my friend for them to buy it off me if it doesn't sell.
I specifically stated to that bastard that bid and won at the last minute (3 times, and once in the payment instructions in bold) that I could not accept any payment other than cash in the mail/money order.
After 4 days waiting for a reply from the buyer, I'm sent a message saying "Hi. Can I have your bank account number and bsb so I can make the payment? Thankyou". After I reply saying I can only take a postal money order, it then takes 4 weeks until it actually reaches my house. Usually, domestic mail in Australia takes one to three days to be delivered.
After stating that if I did not receive the payment in 2 weeks, I would send it right back to them. Two weeks came and went, still no money.
By this time, they had deleted their eBay account and I breathed a huge sigh of relief, as the sale to my friend could go ahead. But that didn't stop them. This morning I was sent an email saying "Have you sent the cd's yet?"
Well I have news for them. No I have not sent them. I have sent the money order back to you. And just to piss them off I didn't cash it in first, my name is still on it and I am the only one who can claim it
. I'll keep those of you who are actually interested updated on what's going down in EBay town.
